Description

The IWXXM project forms the initial step in the implementation of the new MET data model towards a SWIM compliant Meteorological Information Exchange within Belgocontrol. This initial ICAO required step, the implementation of IWXXM, is the first step in the transition from MET products exchange in Traditional Alphanumeric Code format to the exchange of MET information in WXXM format.

Expected Performance Benefits

1. The adherence to IWXXM format requires a more strict compliance to ICAO coding regulations and therefore will result in less erroneous OPMET information

Interoperability

Positive impact

2. Availability of OPMET data in IWXXM format will enhance the interoperability and the post-processing opportunities of OPMET data at the end-user side, including the integration in decision making processes
